The power of expression and calculation...

The power of expression is one of the biggest skill one can acquire in this lifetime. I guess we all value it in our professional lives. I have seen people reap exponential rewards through this one skill even if they are lacking in many other aspects. So let us see what all constitutes the power of expression:

• To know the degree of emotions to be reflected when responding either to a collegue, subordinate or boss and the ability to chose the right set of words
• To know how to smoothly take your boss into the loop of your work, so it sounds like, "hi ABC, how're you doing..hmm.. I was working on this XYZ can you take a look at it for a few minutes just needed your input for something". Result: Work smoothly projected upwards.
• The art of giving feedback: Now you need to give fedback to your boss- depending on how good the relationship yoyu have the following choices : swallow the feedback and keep cribbing and up the morale quotient of the organization:P, give it to your boss's boss with whom you would have already built a relationship through "work projection" or otherwise use sophisticated language for saying the same crap in a manner that he/she cannot touch you.

Now when we talk about the power of expression it is usually useless without being combined with the power of calculation:

• On a project one of the critical skills is to be able to calculate who is the most important person, is there long term mileage which can be derived from the project and yes this with a healthy dose of "luck" can do wonders for you.
• Ability to calculate what are the meatiest pieces of work and keep the control of the same to yourself so that whenever it is talked about u r required especially the role of the presentation "integrator is key ;-)

As they say life is a journey all about learnings....:P
